ਮਃ ੧ ॥

mahalaa 1 |

First Mehl:

ਜਾਂ ਹਉ ਤੇਰਾ ਤਾਂ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਉ ਨਾਹੀ ਤੂ ਹੋਵਹਿ ॥

jaan hau teraa taan sabh kichh meraa hau naahee too hoveh |

When I am Yours, then everything is mine. When I am not, You are.

ਆਪੇ ਸਕਤਾ ਆਪੇ ਸੁਰਤਾ ਸਕਤੀ ਜਗਤੁ ਪਰੋਵਹਿ ॥

aape sakataa aape surataa sakatee jagat paroveh |

You Yourself are All-powerful, and You Yourself are the Intuitive Knower. The whole world is strung on the Power of Your Shakti.

ਆਪੇ ਭੇਜੇ ਆਪੇ ਸਦੇ ਰਚਨਾ ਰਚਿ ਰਚਿ ਵੇਖੈ ॥

aape bheje aape sade rachanaa rach rach vekhai |

You Yourself send out the mortal beings, and You Yourself call them back home. Having created the creation, You behold it.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਚਾ ਸਚੀ ਨਾਂਈ ਸਚੁ ਪਵੈ ਧੁਰਿ ਲੇਖੈ ॥੨॥

naanak sachaa sachee naanee sach pavai dhur lekhai |2|

O Nanak, True is the Name of the True Lord; through Truth, one is accepted by the Primal Lord God. ||2||
